Released via Rhymesayers Entertainment & Metalface Records, MF DOOM’s 2004 classic, MM..FOOD has been fully repackaged with all new artwork by Sam Rodriguez in celebration of its 20th Anniversary. The digital deluxe version of MM..FOOD will feature the original tracklist plus rare remixes of “One Beer” and “Hoe Cakes” by Madlib, Jake One and Ant, along with unreleased MF DOOM interview clips. The release comes with a new music video, “Vomitspit” (animated and composed by Saber).

The limited deluxe edition of the 20th anniversary vinyl is now sold out. The MM..FOOD deluxe 2xLP picture disc vinyl was housed in a 12″ tip-on case-wrapped matte gatefold jacket with anti-scratch lamination treatment and silver foil stamped numbering. The deluxe vinyl also included a bonus 7″ picture disc vinyl featuring the rare original version of “Kookies” as well as the Just Blaze remix, housed in a custom kraft paper pastry sleeve with plastic window, and a QR code sticker linking to an MM..FOOD Diner AR experience.

Additionally, the long out-of-print classic “Hoe Cakes” 12-inch vinyl has also been reissued with its original artwork, now pressed on a green “bug juice blend” colored vinyl. The 12-inch single includes “Hoe Cakes,” “Potholderz” (feat. Count Bass D), and the “Hoe Cakes Remix” produced by Ant, along with instrumentals for all. Taking its name from the sweet, hot water cornmeal patties whose origins can be traced back to pre-colonial America, “Hoe Cakes” is one of DOOM’s finest and most delightfully strange moments on wax.

Alongside the music, an exclusive Super7 Collectible is also available. The new MF DOOM ReAction Figure & Cereal Bowl Set is inspired by the album cover from MM..FOOD, packed in cereal box-style packaging that includes a maze of madness puzzle that can be cut out and worn as a mask. This figure set includes a 3.75” scale MF DOOM ReAction Figure with microphone accessory, a 33 oz. capacity cereal bowl, and a spoon with MF DOOM mask and logo details.

On this date in 2004, MF DOOM dropped his fifth full-length studio release MM..FOOD. Put out on the underground Rhymesayers Entertainment label, some songs from the project were previously released under the name Madvillian on another label. The album featured classic samples from several superhero cartoons including the Fantastic Four, Spiderman and Superman.

The album featured production mainly from DOOM himself, with Count Bass D and Madlib on the help out on just two tracks on the 15 track project. Some of the standout tracks include “Hoe Cakes”, “Guinnesses”, which featured Tennessee born/ATL bred femcee Empress StaHHr and 4ize, and the kaleidoscopic “Fig Leaf Bi-Carbonate.”

Salute to DOOM and everyone involved with this timeless album!

On this date in 2020, MF Doom’s family released a statement announcing that the influential rapper passed away at 49.

“The greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for,” DOOM’s wife Jasmine wrote in te caption of an Instagram post depicting her late husband. “Thank you for all the things you have shown, taught and given to me, our children and our family. Thank you for teaching me how to forgive beings and give another chance, not to be so quick to judge and write off. Thank you for showing how not to be afraid to love and be the best person I could ever be.”

The statement continued, “My world will never be the same without you. Words will never express what you and Malachi mean to me, I love both and adore you always. May THE ALL continue to bless you, our family and the planet.”

MF Doom passed away on Halloween, according to his wife, and his cause of death is currently unknown. Interestingly enough, DOOM’s death announcement didn’t come until two months after his passing, on December 31, 2020.

DOOM is undoubtedly one of the game’s most prolific artists, making a name for himself under the moniker Zev Love X with the group KMD in the early 90s before he donned the Metalface mask and took on the MF DOOM persona. DOOM, released six studio albums, two live albums, three compilation albums, ten instrumental albums, seven collaborative albums, 14 singles, and 32 music videos in his career. In 2022, DOOM was Number 2 in the Greatest Rapper of All Time poll on Twitter, losing only to Hip Hop mogul 50 Cent.
